Fasting Sugar level of my 12 years Old Son

I am 39 pre diabetic for last 6 years and high chalestrol and controlling it by weight and exercise and its working , while i was checking the blood sugar of mine yesterday , my child came to me and I yesterday checked sugar level of my son who is 12 years at 11 am. It came 109, he was playing at that time and waked up 2 hours before but it was fasting of 9+ hours. I got worried so i checked him again 2 hours after his heavy break fast, it came 116, then i checked him again in the evening randomly( 10 minutes after he taken bread slices), it came back again 116.
So i am really worried, please help me to advise should i be worried for fasting. He don't have any symptoms neither frequent urination nor thirst. He also did not complain for other symptoms and over all he is energetic child. Please help me to advise should i check more and its normal.Thank you.

Home blood glucose meters can be a little bit off, so I wouldn't panic.  There may be nothing wrong.  However, it would be best to have your child checked by his pediatrician.  He could be developing pre-diabetes, or he could be in the very early stages of type-1 diabetes.  Your doctor can order blood tests that will let you know for sure.
